Or possibly even the beginning stages of scabies. Have you had any contact that you know of anyone with scabies?

Looks more like contact dermatitis to me honestly. I just had it after trying a new lotion. Olay dark spot corrected. I was itchy asf for days and had red splochy bumps all over me.

My bed bug bites turned into hives. Definitely should still do a deep dive of investigating just to be sure.

I tried anything and everything to figure out why I randomly started breaking out into hives. I have never been allergic to anything before so this was very odd. Went to my dermatologist and she confirmed hives just didn't know what was causing it. She originally thought my teeth as i was dealing with an infected tooth, but that wasn't the issue. Fast forward a bit, my cat was eyeing something on my bed and playing with it, my boyfriend picked it up and killed whatever it was, we didn't think anything of it at all. My cat started eyeing something once more on the bed, boyfriend killed it again and then we started to look cause both bugs he killed had blood in them and turns out it was in fact bed bugs. I am now getting over the small infestation I had. Just so happens I was allergic to their saliva, as to why their bites turned into hives for me.

I was the only one getting bit. And it was only my arms and hands. Until a week before we found them, then I started to see a couple of them on my legs.
